MATTERSBURG v RAPID VIENNA

Thursday 25th May 2017 – Kickoff: 1530hrs

Football – Austria – Bundesliga Betting Tips

Next up is a bottom half clash between seventh placed Mattersburg and sixth placed Rapid Vienna on Thursday evening with neither side having any interest in a european spot, nor in any danger of relegation from the Bundesliga.

This therefore looks like a ‘dead rubber’ but I fancy there’s some money to be made in this clash with Mattersburg in reasonable form and possessing home ground advantage at their Pappelstadion. Mattersburg have won three of their last five with wins over Sturm Graz, league leaders Salzburg and a 1-0 home win over Rheindorf Altach last time out.

These recent wins are solid victories indeed folks as they’ve been earned over teams sitting in the top four of the division, and with a reasonable home record of  9-3-5  20/18 to their name, along with having won seven of their last eight at home, they must be given a chance here of causing an upset.

Visitors Rapid Vienna have had to endure a frustrating, and ultimately, disappointing campaign in this season’s Austrian Bundesliga as they find themselves a massive 17 points adrift of the Europa League places in the division.

Some poor results have cost them from making a serious challenge for a top three position, and although they’ve gained recent wins over Rheindorf Altach, Wolfsberger and Sturm Graz, these were recorded at home, whereas their away record has been ordinary to say the least.

A record on the road of  2-6-9  20/29 includes a poor sequence of results which has seen the visitors lose 7 of their last 10 on their travels.

Therefore, you can see there’s every chance of Mattersburg walking away with at least a point here…
